Rancho RS5000X 4″ Lift Shocks for 1988-2000 Chevy K2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55244 / RS55227

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted Chevy and GMC trucks. Engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes harshness over road imperfections while maintaining firm control during off-road use. The gas-pressurized construction ensures consistent damping performance by reducing fluid aeration, making it an ideal solution for daily drivers and weekend explorers alike.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure maximum comfort on varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides a consistent force against the internal oil to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the internal oil seals.
